(no subject)

I am willing to admit the possibility that if it weren't for the little olivada and chevre crostini we make every year for Solstice, I wouldn't go through the hassle of observing it. It's just such a busy time, but omg these are soooo gooood. *gobbles them down*

( Super easy, too )

Also, I like my children's bounding energy much more when I am not sweeping shattered glass off the floor and I really do wish they could just, like, not RANDOMLY JUMP UP AND DOWN AND SHAKE THE HOUSE so very much.

Also, it's been confirmed that I like people more in the abstract than in the concrete - the teeming hordes have driven me nuts all day and sometimes it's better just to not leave the house. I'm great with individuals, even OK with groups, but crowds just set my teeth on edge.

This message brought to you by all my goddamned seasonal cheer. I am trying not to grumble, but it's been a day. Also, my tummy is freaking out and hating me and it's worrying me, just a little.

Now I'm going to go watch "Elf" with my family and enjoy all the bayberry candles I lit all over the place. Happy Solstice! ♥
